Changing single oil cooler to duel

[Hammerhead]

Limited owner plan. It's for small, or O/O's. it allows you to register up to 5 S/N's.
that's what I did.

Also I don't know if I need a specific housing for my motor or if they are all the same. I found one on line I thought I would buy it and put new coolers in it and install it but I don't want to waste the money if it doesn't fit. The one's I found they list the casting number?

This summer I started getting red shut down lights at the top of grades. I took it in to Cummins to get it checked out. I had just had issues with the X Y shifter and thought the guy at Kenworth changed something in my parameters.
He comes back and says it's the oil temp that is setting it off. He also thought that a 600 should have a duel cooler. So that was when I started reading here on Rawze's forums. I changed the oil thermostat but it has cooled down outside now so I'm not having the problem any more but I'm going to change it at Christmas time when I'm off to a duel cooler anyways.
Oh, and mine is in a T660.

If you are getting shutdown codes for oil problems -- IT IS NOT THE OIL COOLER SINGLE ELEMENT AT FAULT!!!

I don't know WHY for the life of me you think that adding a second oil cooler is going to ACTUALLY SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS!!!! --- FIX THE DAMN PROBLEMS AND STOP TRYING TO MASK THEM!!!!!


IF YOU OIL TEMPS ARE TOO HIGH ---

* You have a BAD DELETE!?

* You have fuel-air mixture problems!?

* You have an overheating Turbocharger!? -(what is your BOOST/pyro getting up to in hard pulls
?)

* You are ABUSING YOUR ENGINE!?

* Static Timing has slipped!?

* yOU HAVE A spun bearing!>?

* The oil cooler is partially plugged !? -- OR Annodized by BAD (or waterless) ENGINE COOLANT!?

* You have a bad oil temp sensor? -- Have you even verified the temps?

* Bad oil thermostat?.
--=-====

I.E. --- THERE IS AN ACTUAL PROBLEM!!! --- DON'T MASK YOUR PROBLEMS BY MODIFYING YOUR ENGINE!!!--- FIND THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT!!!!!!!

Also I have saw a few cases where it had a bad thermostat. When fully closed it bypasses the oil cooler. Thus purposely heating up oil. Once oil is up to temp it will open. In a few cases it would not fully open and there for bypassing oil cooler partially.

Ah, just figured it out. You can register up to 5 engine Vin. #s for free. Boy you can teach an old dog new tricks. LOL.
My CPL is 2919
This recon was ordered in as a 550 then turned up at the dealers when they installed it.
I would like to see pictures on QuickServe. All I seem to get are part numbers?
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for your help Hammerhead. I was reading these posts on my phone and didn't see the second page.

Curious.... what is the oil temp when the code comes up?

My 08 871 in a prostar is a 500 with dual cooler.

[HankAz]

I think the dealer said it was 240. I know the oil thermostat opens at 235. I did change that and the problem seems to be solved. I'm working on getting gauges to monitor oil temp,pryo and boost but I want to upgrade the cooler anyways when I'm off at Christmas. I'm finding cooler housings and they list the casting number I don't know what will interchange with mine.
Anybody??

Thanks for the help

Get them to compare parts lists for you. Or if the parts guys a fucking moron then just go to a local heavy truck salvage yard to compare.
